“We had some great entries in this year’s contest and we appreciate everyone who took the time to enter,” states Archie Watkins of the UAW Local 2195 Archery Club. “We would also like to thank Terry Scruggs and Joe Border at the union hall for checking in the deer. Congratulations to all the winners.”
